Sand Trap Botany of Southern New Mexico
Added 2025-06-08 23:21:43 +0000 UTCThe geology of Southern New Mexico is based around gently undulating sandals of red sand weathered out of 300 million year old rock. It is hot, dry, and windy, but tons of interesting stuff still manages to grow here, such as Acourtia nana, Monarda punctata var occidentalis, Dalea lanata, Phyllanthus abnormis, Abronia fragrans, Epixiphium wislizenii (Snapdragon Vine), Quercus havardii (dwarf oak) and a ton more sand endemics.

Absolutely the politicians want to sell off to the land to their corporate masters. Texas is trying to put the state parks under the thumb of other departments like the general land office, and I guarantee their ultimate goal is contracting out management to private interests then bullshit a way to sell the lands.
